Producer of Gilbert Bobolink Talking Machine and Bobolink Books Inaugurates Great Holiday Campaign on These Products New Haven, Conn., September 20. — The A. C. Gilbert Co., producer of the Gilbert Bobolink talking machine and the series of Gilbert Bobolink books, has inaugurated an intensive Fall and holiday campaign on these particularly appropriate numbers, which are manufactured ai its large plant in this city. The A. C. Gilbert Co. has earned for itself an excellent reputation and a decided prestige in toy circles through its production of the well-known Gilbert mechanical toys. In a recent issue of Printer's Ink Monthly an interesting article was printed describing the success of the Gilbert Co. in this field and of the correct principles upon which Albert C. Gilbert, president of this company, has built this great industry. The policy of this company has always been to thoroughly investigate and try out a market before placing an extensive campaign behind any one of its products. Thus the sales popularity of the Bobolink talking machine, record and books has been well tried out through its various agencies. The Bobolink talking machine measures 26>4xl2;/2xl2>^ inches and is finished either in mahogany or in an attractive, blue and white nursery design. The Bobolink set of books consists of four numbers, two song books and two reading books. The two song books are unique in thought and arrangement and each outfit contains one book with a series of children's stories as well as music scores for the piano and words of four delightful folk songs. Each song, sung by the eminent tenor, Charles Harrison, is reproduced on a seven-inch, doublefaced talking machine record. The two reading books are equally attractive, although presenting an entirely different thought. Each book contains delightful child's verses as well as stories and attractive colored illustrations, and is equipped with the same number of double-faced records. The A. C. Gilbert Co. has realized the popularity of both the talking machine and record books for the holiday trade and is. therefore, presenting them to the talking machine trade at this time.

Y., October 1. — The Imperial Musical Instrument Co., which has only been in existence here for a few months, is aggressively going out after business and is making it a point to keep in close totich with people whose names are on the prospect list. One plan which the firm has adopted consists of sending a personal letter suggesting the records which will probably appeal to the particular prospect with the usual record supplement. Of course, this involves a close study of the customer's choice in music, and the plan has proved very successful. The firm handles Sonora. Columbia and Brunswick machines. GREAT TRIBUTE TO CARUSO G.
